New York Now & Then Boxed Notecards: 12 notecards (2 each of 6), with embossed envelopes

With superb black and white images of New York City, from the archives of the New York Times, these 4 1/4 x 6-inch notecards celebrate the metropolis through the 20th century, with views of the Brooklyn Bridge (from 1908), the Flatiron Building (circa 1917), the Times Tower (circa 1930s), the Brooklyn Promenade (1953), the Top of the Rock (1958), and Columbus Circle (1965). (On the back of each card is a contemporary color shot of the same scene—or as close to the same scene as possible.) The sturdy lidded box contains a dozen cards (two of each subject) as well as off-white envelopes printed with a burgundy interior and lightly embossed with the newspaper's distinctive logo.
